Correct Answer - Option 4 : 45

Concept:

\(\rm sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1\)

 

Calculation:

Given:

a cos θ + b sin θ = 3     .......(1) 

a sin θ - b cos θ = 6     ........(2)

 

Now squaring (1) and (2), we get 

\(\rm a^2cos^2\theta+2ab\ sin\theta \ cos\theta +b^2sin^2\theta=9\)            .... (3) 

\(\rm a^2sin^2\theta-2ab\ sin\theta \ cos\theta +b^2cos^2\theta=36\)         .... (4)

Adding (3) and (4), we get 

\(\rm\rm [a^2cos^2\theta+2ab\ sin\theta \ cos\theta +b^2sin^2\theta]+ [a^2sin^2\theta-2ab\ sin\theta \ cos\theta +b^2cos^2\theta]=9+36\)

\(\rm a^2+b^2\) = 45                                         (∵ \(\rm sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1\))

Hence, option (4) is correct.
